Chicago engagement photos like the ones with Taryn and Brett can truly be described as perfect. You can see all the beauty of Chicago—so much diversity in one place. That’s exactly what we captured here. We had been planning the engagement session with Taryn for a long time and had to reschedule several times due to bad weather and rain. In the end, it turned out to be a perfect day for the session. We chose the very heart of the city and walked to several locations around the river. Taryn is super laid-back and wanted everything — lots of photos and variety. A wonderful couple, and it was truly easy working with them. They’re moving away from Chicago, a city they truly love, and wanted to have as many iconic photos as possible to always remind them of their life here.
WE STARTED AT THE WRIGLEY BUILDING AND FINISHED UP AT THE CHICAGO THEATRE
They were beautifully dressed, the engagement ring was stunning, and every glance and touch between them reflected the deep love they share. We were lucky that it wasn’t too crowded near the Wrigley Building, so we moved through that spot quickly. We know every corner of these locations by heart, and along the way, we happened to come across a group of police officers — and ended up taking a fun photo with them that will definitely be remembered.
We made a rough plan of where we’d go and what spots we’d photograph — we always do that because it makes everything smoother. Of course, there are always unexpected and spontaneous moments along the way, and that’s the true beauty of what we do. We wrapped up the session under the iconic Chicago Theatre sign. Everything turned out perfectly — just like the photos we’re excited to share with you.
We love doing engagement sessions in the city we also deeply adore. You can see more similar engagement sessions here.
